OMG. Tell me I did the right thing. My 93 sweet neighbor lost control of his car and hit my neighbor's tree. (He hit the accelerator in reverse instead of brake). While I was in my driveway, watching the whole thing, I had to yell at my children to get in the house as I wasn't sure where he was driving to backwards. When he finally rolled to a stop due to severe damage to his tire, I asked him to put his car in park. He was shaken up and said I can't. I asked to take his keys out, he did. I asked him who I can call him for him, he said nobody, and proceeded to restart the car. I told him to stop, he shouldn't drive and if he did I was going to call the police. He begged me to not to call the police, but he drove back instead to his house, two houses down. I called the police and a tiny part of me thinks I should have dealt with it provately with his wife. I did the right thing, I know but feel teensy bit guilty since he's a sweet old man. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I think you are very nice but I'd notify the police and any family he may have. Let the police handle it but keep in mind what may happen the next time he does this, and he'll do it again. There may be a medical problem you never know. [ Reply | More

I already did. They were here. I am still shaking. I never had a car careen toward my family before. Hopefully, they'll take his license away. [ Reply | More

Your story is very sad. I wish you would stop harping on the possible danger you believed your family was in though, its really isn't about you. [ Reply | More
